Default My First JEEP and my first car!

Ok so I am 15 and this is my first car. it is a 93 jeep cherokee 4.0 I6 automatic and its got 230,000 miles on it. me and my dad have done a complete rebuild on the motor: bored it over 30 thousands, new pistions, new cam, polishd crank... etc the whole deal! we have also rebuilt the automatic transmission completly. needless to say i know this whole Jeep inside and out!

My big plans for it!
-3 inch lift (as high as my dad will let me go)
- 31" bfg's
-custom front bumper ( i like to fab stuff )
-2 1/2 inch exhaust
- new wheels (Black)

Im sure there will be more but i dont want to get too far ahead of myself so these are mt plans for now! i will keep you updated and i have a little video i made but i still have to upload it to youtube will post a link when i get that up!


here it is as of now! kind of a old pic a few minor things have chanded since



engine before the complete rebuild!

engine now!

Nice ride kid, and a perfect one for your first car. Looks like you and your dad are doing great! I miss working on cars with my dad, so enjoy it....even when you get frustrated with him

The engine in my '00 XJ looks that dirty. I want to get it cleaned up, but without having to take it out

Anyways..great start to your first car. Keep up the good work!
